The man involved in a crash that closed Interstate 71 in Warren County Tuesday night died from his injuries.

Ismael Cabrera Lopez, 30, died Wednesday at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, according to a Hamilton County Coroner report.

Lopez was driving a blue 2006 Hyundai Elantra north on I-71 near Socialville-Foster Road when it stopped in the right lane and abruptly turned left, according to a news release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Edward Arnold, 66, of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was also driving north on I-71 in his tractor semi-trailor. When Lopez turned left, Arnold struck his vehicle. The Elantra then went off the left side of the highway and struck the concrete median barrier. Arnold brought his semi to rest on the right berm.

Neither Arnold nor his wife, 62-year-old Esther Arnold, who was in the passenger seat of the semi, were injured. They were both wearing seat belts.

Lopez, who is from Marion, Ohio, sustained life-threatening injuries. He was first taken to Bethesda North Hospital, but was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, according to the release.

Lopez was also wearing his seat belt.

Authorities believe alcohol played a factor in the crash. Witnesses reported the Elantra was driving erratically before the crash, according to the release.

Northbound I-71 was fully shut down for about 55 minutes. One lane reopened just before 11 p.m., and all lanes reopened by about 1:17 a.m.
